SGS, is pleased to report that it held a successful Workshop on Instrumentation and Control Valves on May 14, 2011 at the SGS PID valve calibration shop in Esteio, Brazil. With 40 representatives from the local industry present, including coordinators, supervisors, instrumentation, mechanical and electromechanical technicians, instrumentalists and pipe fitters, the Workshop on Instrumentation and Control Valves provided a perfect meeting place to learn more about the latest trends in the instrumentation and control valves sector.
Luciano Xavier of SGS Brazil, who conducted the workshop, talked about the latest techniques in industrial instrumentation, calibration and loop tests for the commissioning of process plants, as well as the inspection and maintenance of control and safety/relief valves.
